Introduction
A well-functioning electricity market requires an effective market monitoring
process. As part of the market monitoring process, the monthly report on short-term
transactions of electricity, is being prepared and posted on the website of CERC since
August 2008. Here, short-term transactions of electricity refers to the contracts of less than
one year period, for electricity transacted (inter-state & intra-state) through Inter-State
Trading Licensees and directly by the Distribution Licensees, Power Exchanges (Indian
Energy Exchange Ltd (IEX) and Power Exchange India Ltd (PXIL)), and Unscheduled
Interchange (UI). The objectives of the report are: (i) to observe the trends in volume and
price of the short-term transactions of electricity; (ii) to analyse competition among the
market players; (iii) to analyse effect of congestion on volume of electricity transacted
through power exchanges; (iv) to provide information on volume and price of Renewable
Energy

Certificates

(RECs)

transacted

through

power

exchanges;

and

(v)

to

disclose/disseminate all relevant market information. The analysis of the report for the month
of February 2013 is as under:
I: Volume of Short-term Transactions of Electricity
During the month of February 2013, total electricity generation excluding generation
from renewable and captive power plants in India was 68458.78 MUs (Table-1).
Of the total electricity generation, 7176.89MUs (10.48%) were transacted through
short-term, comprising of 3630.45MUs (5.30%) through Bilateral (through traders and termahead contracts on Power Exchanges and directly between distribution companies), followed
by 2012.39MUs (2.94%) through day ahead collective transactions on Power Exchanges
(IEX and PXIL) and 1534.05MUs (2.24%) through UI (Table-1 & Figure-2).
Of the total short-term transactions, Bilateral constitute 50.59% (37.35% through
traders and term-ahead contracts on Power Exchanges and 13.24% directly between
distribution companies) followed by 28.04% through day ahead collective transactions on
Power Exchanges and 21.37% through UI (Table-1& Figure-1). Daily volume of short-term
transactions is shown in Table-17 & Figure-3.
The percentage share of electricity traded by each trading licensee in the total volume
of electricity traded by all trading licensees is provided in Table-2 & Figure-4. The trading
licensees undertake electricity transactions through bilateral and through power exchanges.
Here, the volume of electricity transacted by the trading licensees includes bilateral
5

transactions and the transactions undertaken through power exchanges. There were 41
trading licensees as on 28.02.2013, of which only 20 have engaged in trading during
February 2013. Top 5 trading licensees had a share of 75.87% in the total volume traded by
all the licensees.
Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) has been used for measuring the competition
among the trading licensees. Increase in the HHI generally indicates a decrease in
competition and an increase of market power, whereas decrease indicates the opposite. The
HHI below 0.15 indicates non-concentration of market power. The HHI computed for
volume of electricity traded by trading licensees (inter-state & intra-state) was 0.1481 for the
month of February 2013, which indicates that there was no concentration of market power
(Table-2).
The volume of electricity transacted through IEX and PXIL in the day ahead market
was 1975.42MUs and 36.97MUs respectively. The volume of total Buy bids and Sale bids
was 3125.04MUs and 3518.28MUs respectively in IEX and 215.65MUs and 194.76MUs
respectively in PXIL. The gap between the volume of buy bids and sale bids placed through
power exchanges shows that there was less demand in IEX (0.89 times) and more demand in
PXIL (1.11 times) when compared with the supply offered through these exchanges.
The volume of electricity transacted through IEX and PXIL in the term-ahead market
was 19.25MUs and 1.05MU respectively (Table-6 & Table-7).

II: Price of Short-term Transactions of Electricity

(i) Price of electricity transacted through Traders: Weighted average sale price has
been computed for the electricity transacted through traders and it was `4.46/kWh. Weighted
average sale price was also computed for the transactions during Round the Clock (RTC),
Peak, and Off-Peak periods separately, and the sale prices were `4.42/kWh, `4.48/kWh and
`4.89/kWh respectively. Minimum and Maximum sale prices were `2.90/kWh and
`6.56/kWh respectively (Table-3 & 4).
(ii) Price of electricity transacted Through Power Exchanges: Minimum, Maximum
and Weighted Average Prices have been computed for the electricity transacted through IEX
and PXIL separately. The Minimum, Maximum and Weighted Average prices were
`0.005/kWh, `20.00/kWh and `2.90/kWh respectively in IEX and `1.50/kWh, `15.70/kWh
and `2.42/kWh respectively in PXIL (Table-5).
6

The price of electricity transacted through IEX and PXIL in the term-ahead market
was `2.98/kWh and `2.88/kWh respectively (Table-6 and Table-7).
(iii) Price of electricity transacted Through UI: All-India UI price has been
computed for NEW Grid and SR Grid separately. The average UI price was `1.53/kWh in
the NEW Grid and `3.83/kWh in the SR Grid. Minimum and Maximum UI prices were
`0.00/kWh and `8.21/kWh respectively in the New Grid, and `0.00/kWh and `10.80/kWh
respectively in the SR Grid (Table-8).
The prices of electricity transacted through trading licensees, power exchanges and
UI and their comparison is shown in Table-18, Figure-5 & 6.
III: Volume of Short-term Transactions of Electricity (Regional Entity1-Wise)
Of the total bilateral transactions, top 5 regional entities sold 50.23% of the volume,
and these were Delhi, Jindal Power Limited, West Bengal, Haryana and Sterlite Energy
Limited. Top 5 regional entities purchased 48.49% of the volume, and these were Rajasthan,
Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, Jammu & Kashmir and Tamilnadu (Table-9, 10 & 19).
Of the total Power Exchange transactions, top 5 regional entities sold 65.09% of the
volume, and these were Karnataka, Delhi, Gujarat, Jindal Power Limited and NHPC
Stations. Top 5 regional entities purchased 78.54% of the volume, and these were Gujarat,
Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan and Maharashtra (Table-11, 12 & 19).
Of the total UI transactions, top 5 regional entities underdrew 47.19% of the volume,
and these were Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir and Madhya Pradesh.
Top 5 regional entities overdrew 36.08% of the volume, and these were Gujarat, West
Bengal, Haryana, Orissa and Maharashtra (Table-13, 14 & 19).
Regional entity-wise total volume of net short-term transactions of electricity i.e.
volume of net transactions through bilateral, power exchanges and UI is shown in Table-15
& 19. Top 5 electricity selling regional entities were Delhi, Karnataka, Jindal Power Limited,
Sterlite Energy Limited and Uttar Pradesh. Top 5 electricity purchasing regional entities
were Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Tamilnadu and Gujarat.

In case of a state, the entities which are selling also include generators connected to state grid and

the entities which are buying also include open access consumers.

IV: Congestion2 on Inter-state Transmission Corridor for Day-Ahead Market on Power

Exchanges
Power Exchanges use a price discovery mechanism in which the aggregate demand
and supply are matched to arrive at an unconstrained market price and volume. This step
assumes that there is no congestion in the inter-state transmission system between different
regions. However, in reality, the system operator, NLDC in coordination with RLDCs, limits
the flow due to congestion in the inter-state transmission system. In such a situation, Power
Exchanges adopt a mechanism called Market Splitting3.
In the month of February 2013, congestion occurred in both the power exchanges, the
details of which are shown in Table-16. The volume of electricity that could not be cleared
due to congestion and could not be transacted through power exchanges is the difference
between unconstrained cleared volume (volume of electricity that would have been
scheduled, had there been no congestion) and actual cleared volume.
During the month, the volume of electricity that could not be cleared in the power
exchanges due to congestion was 21.42% and 74.93% of the unconstrained cleared volume
in IEX and PXIL, respectively. In terms of time, congestion occurred was 100.00% in both
the power exchanges.

means a situation where the demand for transmission capacity exceeds the available
transfer capability
3

Congestion

Market Splitting is a mechanism adopted by Power Exchange where the market is split in the

event of transmission congestion, into predetermined ( by NLDC) bid areas or zones, which are
cleared individually at their respective area prices such that the energy balance in every bid area is
reached based upon the demand and supply in individual bid areas and using the available
transmission corridor capacity between various bid areas simultaneously
As a result of this market splitting the price of electricity in the importing region, where demand for
electricity is more than supply, becomes relatively higher than the price of electricity in the exporting
region.

V: Volume and Price of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)

The concept of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) seeks to address mismatch

between availability of renewable energy sources and the requirement of the obligated
entities to meet their renewable purchase obligation by purchasing green attributes of
renewable energy remotely located in the form of RECs. The REC mechanism is a market
based instrument, to promote renewable sources of energy and development of market in
electricity.
One REC is equivalent to 1 MWh of electricity injected into the grid from renewable
energy sources. The REC is exchanged only in the power exchanges approved by CERC
within the band of a floor price and forbearance (ceiling) price as notified by CERC from
time to time. The first REC trading session was held on power exchanges in March 2011.
The details of REC transactions for the month of February 2013 are shown in Table20. The market clearing volume of Solar RECs transacted on IEX and PXIL were 1924 and
310 respectively and the market clearing price of these RECs ware `12500/MWh and
`13000/MWh on IEX and PXIL respectively. Market clearing volume of Non-Solar RECs
transacted on IEX and PXIL were 48093 and 104859 respectively and the market clearing
price of these RECs was `1500/MWh on both the power exchanges.
The gap between the volume of buy and sell bids of RECs placed through power
exchanges shows that there was more demand for Solar RECs and less demand for NonSolar RECs. For Solar RECs, the ratio of buy and sell bids was 1.89 and 7.11 in IEX and
PXIL respectively. For Non-Solar RECs, the ratio of buy and sell bids was 0.03 and 0.48 in
IEX and PXIL respectively.

VI: Inferences:

The percentage of short-term transactions of electricity to total electricity generation was

10.48%.

Of the total short-term transactions of electricity, 50.59% was transacted through bilateral
(through traders and term ahead contracts on power exchanges and directly by
distribution companies), followed by 28.04% through Power Exchanges and 21.37%
through UI.

Top 5 trading licensees had a share of 75.87% in the total volume traded by all the
trading licensees.

The Herfindahl Hirschman Index computed for volume of electricity traded by trading
licensees was 0.1481, indicating an unconcentration of market power.

The price of electricity transacted through trading licensees (`4.46/kWh) was higher
when compared with the price of electricity transacted through IEX (`2.90/kWh) and
PXIL (`2.42/kWh) respectively.

The price of electricity transacted through UI was `1.53/kWh in the NEW Grid and
`3.83/kWh in the SR Grid.

The gap between the volume of buy bids and sale bids placed through power exchanges
indicates that there was less demand in IEX (1: 0.89) and more demand in PXIL (1: 1.11)
when compared with the supply offered through these exchanges.

Top 5 electricity selling regional entities were Delhi, Karnataka, Jindal Power Limited,
Sterlite Energy Limited and Uttar Pradesh. Top 5 electricity purchasing regional entities
were Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Tamilnadu and Gujarat.

The volume of electricity that could not be cleared in the power exchanges due to
congestion was 21.42% and 74.93% of the unconstrained cleared volume in IEX and
PXIL, respectively. In terms of time, congestion occurred was 100.00% in both the
power exchanges.

The market clearing volume of Solar RECs transacted on IEX and PXIL were 1924 and
310 respectively and the market clearing price of these RECs ware `12500/MWh and
`13000/MWh on IEX and PXIL respectively. Market clearing volume of Non-Solar
RECs transacted on IEX and PXIL were 48093 and 104859 respectively and the market
clearing price of these RECs was `1500/MWh on both the power exchanges.
